British Soccer CampTHE NUMBER ONE SOCCER CAMP IN USA AND CANADA!!!

I wanted to update this blog post with the info "after the camp." My son is a bit too old, but we have a neighbor who has a son that loves soccer and was really excited to go!! They were able to get into our local one up here in the mountains and loved it. Here is what John had to say about it:

The coaches helped me with important soccer skills such as footwork, ball handling, making head shots, and how to control the ball while running at different speeds. We learned how to pass the ball effectively to open team members. We learned a lot about cooperation and sportsmanship. The coaches taught us a trick move that fakes out the defender and makes him think you are going to pass or kick the ball. It catches the defender off-guard, gets him to jump, giving you a clear path with the ball. We learned a move called the "scissors move." It is when you can weave the ball in between your legs while running down the field. The best part of the camp was when we got to play scrimmage games against each other. That was a lot of fun and helped me use all the skills they taught me. We played a really fun game called "lightning" each day. This was a one-on-one game with 1 goalie and 1 kicker. If the kicker scored, the goalie was out and someone else takes over as goalie. The last person left is the winner. - John

Here are some photos of his fun time:

Thanks to #USFG and British Soccer Camps for letting us be a part of this great opportunity!

I've heard some friends talk about this "British Soccer Camp" and always are saying it's a great camp experience, and cannot wait to try it out. You always hear great reviews and the kids I know that go, always come back with smiles on their faces, new skills learned and even better at this sport. Even without having gone before, from their reviews, I would recommend it. Cannot wait to try it out ourselves and see what a difference it makes.
